Yet another reason to be nervous about the election: Russia

The Russians will be doing everything they can to interfere electronically.

And Trump has made it pretty clear that, even if they do so really quite blatantly, provided they do so successfully, there will be no repercussions.

At this point, I'm just hoping that "everything they can do" is "not much".

...almost like it's been planned for months.

also, Putin's hackers don't even have to do much other than make it really clear they got in. Which isn't terribly hard with the machines & systems many Red states have chosen to use.
